behold the magic of the PDF
Managing Indirector: Hey, Beatrix, how long does it take to PDF a document? (Am I the only one bothered by the stupid use of an acronym in place of a verb? However, cannot resist…)
Beatrix Kiddo: Oooohhh, it depends. How many pages? (Just indulging their fantasy that this is really hard shit and that I’ll have to go into the back room to crank out the PDF by hand in some old rusty mill. They don’t call it Painful Data Fingering for nothing)Â
MI: It’s 10 pages. Do you think you can have it ready by the end of today?
BK: Hmmmm…I don’t know. Tell you what, how about noon tomorrow?
MI: Okay (meekly bowing as he retreats back into his hexahedron of doom)
…and then I go back to reading The Best Page in the Universe (which it is indeed so in case you’re wondering). That’s right bitch! Who’s your daddy now?! I own you soooooo bad.

Oh yes. I do love to mess with their heads.
Except the higher up’s at my work do not care if it takes ten minute or ten hours to get something done. They just want it done yesterday.
Douchebags.
